As several Navy personnel instinctively helped Colonel Cree move the newspaper, the next second, the news leaped into their view.
The G-64 branch personnel, many of whom had been cared for by Ignis Glow, some even having grown up watching him in nearby towns, were all stunned.
Their eyes widened, fixated on the newspaper's contents.
After a long moment, someone swallowed hard… and looked at Cree.
"Colonel Cree… uh, please slap me. Is this real?!"
"So, Ignis… no, that man's power was actually this strong"?
I even dared to bother him while he was fishing!
"Thinking about it now, my life was hanging by a thread!"
"Th-the Navy Admirals… actually lost?!"
At this moment, Cree's heart was also pounding, his face etched with disbelief.
Just as the tension reached its peak, suddenly, a Navy officer ran in.
"Colonel Cree! Someone's here to see you!"
This unexpected interruption startled everyone in G-64.
Upon seeing that it was a comrade, they gritted their teeth.
"You idiot! You scared the hell out of me!"
"If that happens again, I think I'll die of fright before I even get to read the news!"
"So-sorry…"
The young Navy officer awkwardly scratched his head.
Cree then asked: "You said someone's outside?"
His eyes narrowed in suspicion.
At this moment, instinct told Cree that someone was plotting against their former colonel.
He was about to refuse, when the young Navy officer, realizing his mistake, quickly nodded.
He said: "Ye-yes! And that person claims to be 'Dragon,' the leader of the Re-Revolutionary Army!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, those in G-64 breathed a collective sigh of relief.
It wasn't another branch causing trouble.
But then, they realized… Their expressions changed drastically.
"Re-Revolutionary Army…?!"
And it was… the leader of the Revolutionary Army, "Dragon," the most notorious criminal of all?!
What could he possibly want here?!
Meanwhile, Dragon, standing outside, thought to himself that before approaching someone, one should gather as much information as possible.
…
Simultaneously, the news, like an earthquake, spread rapidly throughout the world.
In less than a day, Ignis Glow's reputation had reached terrifying proportions in the first half of the Grand Line and the Four Blues!
Simultaneously, starting with the incident in the North Blue where he killed a Celestial Dragon, the North Blue's routes to the Grand Line were blocked.
The Red Line was cleaved, halting the advance of North Blue pirates.
Then came Ignis Glow's annihilation of a Vice Admiral's Pacifista fleet in the first half of the Grand Line!
Now, his battle with the Navy Admirals had resulted in the evaporation of an entire region of sea, hundreds of kilometers wide!
News of the Navy's second failed extermination attempt had also spread.
As Ignis Glow's past deeds were recounted, people began to realize: Previously, Ignis Glow's defiance of the World Government and the Navy was seen by many as the act of a madman, or simply someone seeking to create a world-altering event, someone who would soon be crushed by the Navy's overwhelming might.
But now, witnessing these world-shaking events all converging on a single individual… the only feeling that remained was sheer, unadulterated terror…!!
And there was no doubt: The lone figure from the North Blue possessed an overwhelming, terrifying power that could rival any Yonko crew in the New World!
…
Meanwhile, as reactions varied across the globe, Amazon Lily, Snake Princess Island.
"Elder Nyon (Gloriosa), do you know anything about this man's past?"
In the royal palace, a tall figure, exuding a cold, regal aura, spoke with a mixture of disbelief and curiosity.
The speaker was none other than Boa Hancock, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, known as the Pirate Empress.
Beside her was Gloriosa, the former-former-former emperor of Amazon Lily, a walking encyclopedia.
Gloriosa looked at the newspaper in Hancock's hand, searching for information about the man's past in the North Blue.
But she found nothing.
Gloriosa shook her head, her tone grave.
"This man is likely a hidden monster, at least there's no record of him during the Rocks era or Roger's time."
She then looked at Hancock.
"Snake Princess, give up on your fantasies".
"While this man possesses overwhelming power, toppling the World Government requires far more than this."
Gloriosa's eyes were filled with unwavering seriousness.
"After all, even the Navy Admirals are merely the World Government's puppets".
"Even the mighty Rocks Pirates, who dared to challenge them, ultimately met their end…"
"…Are you trying to tell me what to do?!"
Hancock's face darkened.
Gloriosa knew Hancock could be irrational when certain issues were raised.
She shook her head.
"In short, I can only offer advice based on past experience. Also, the Navy summoned the Seven Warlords yesterday, but I refused on your behalf, claiming you were unwell."
Gloriosa looked towards the sea outside Snake Princess Island.
"The situation in the first half of the Grand Line is now beyond the Navy's control: Kaido… Whitebeard, the Navy, and that impossibly powerful monster".
"The World Government might have to intervene personally."
Hearing this, Hancock's slender fingers clenched, her brow furrowed.
